Precision Strip for Cable Armoring

Zero Breakage Risk in Cable Armoring Lines

Cable armor strip is the steel strip wound around copper or aluminum conductor cables. Its edge quality directly affects armoring machine performance. Burrs, tolerance deviations, or irregular edges cause line stoppages, cable damage, and production losses.

At CHY Steel, we provide high-meterage, burr-free, and consistent-width slitting. Every strip is produced to match your armoring machine's coil winding tension and line speed requirements.

Manufacturers who choose CHY Steel for this critical raw material are reducing line downtime to zero and maximizing production efficiency.

Key Requirements

In Armor Strip Slitting, Tolerance Allows No Error

01
Consistent Width Tolerance

With ±0.05 mm tolerance, we keep strip width constant, eliminating the need for repeated machine readjustments and ensuring smooth armoring line operation.

02
Zero Burr Edge Quality

Burrs can damage cable insulation layers and compromise cable safety. Our CNC-controlled precision blades maintain zero edge burr even at high line speeds.

03
High-Meterage Coils

With our max. 30-ton input coil capacity, we produce high-meterage coils that significantly minimize your line downtime from frequent coil changes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Cable Armor Strip

The most common materials are galvanized steel (HDG/GI), cold-rolled steel (CR), and aluminized steel (AS) strips. Galvanized strip is preferred for underground and corrosive environments, while CR strip suits indoor, low-corrosion applications. All materials compliant with IEC 60502 are available from our stock.

Our slitting line can produce strips as narrow as 6 mm. Armor strip widths typically range from 10 mm to 150 mm based on cable diameter. We handle both extremes with ±0.05 mm tolerance.

Burrs can damage the cable's XLPE or PVC insulation layer during armoring, causing dielectric strength failures and non-conforming products. They also abrade armoring machine guide rollers, increasing maintenance costs.

Yes. EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports with chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional measurements are available upon request for every order.

Thanks to our extensive raw material stock, we can provide same-day slitting and 24-48 hour delivery for many orders. For special material or dimensions, please submit your request via our quote form.
